Chapter 65: Fang Shiming's Death

As Fang Shiming fell to the ground and knelt, he began to weep, and no Substitute Doll appeared on the ground.

However, just as Zhang Hao was about to raise his hand to summon a ghost to Fang Shiming, he suddenly found that there was not a single ghost inside Fang Shiming's body.

Hoo Hoo Hoo!

A howling gale sounded in his ears, and the cold, fetid wind reappeared in the Ghost Domain.

Zhang Hao looked up; Fang Shiming, at an unknown moment, had already activated his Ghost Domain, standing in midair, and his Ghost Domain tore the Ghostly Servant's Ghost Domain, and after a short while successfully ripped a crack.

Ran away?

Zhang Hao frowned, unable to understand; by what means had Fang Shiming not died?

Bride!

Zhang Hao sprang into action, and, with the Ghost Bride, hurried after Fang Shiming.

With the aid of embroidered shoes, and the outer Ghost Domain of the Ghostly Servant that he could control, he and the Ghost Bride immediately caught up with Fang Shiming.

Again!

Fang Shiming gritted his teeth, amplified the Ghost Wind's supernatural power, hoping to quickly use his Ghost Domain to tear the Ghostly Servant's Ghost Domain.

The earlier Ghost Wind was forcibly broken by the Ghost Domain; now its agitation is severe, and a Fierce Ghost could revive at any moment.

Moreover, while the Fierce Ghost had just been suppressed, the immediate stimulation of the Ghost Domain made the Ghost Wind's revival even more intense.

Thus Fang Shiming can keep the Ghost Wind in balance by using the Ghost Pressure Person; otherwise it would have revived instantly.

Now facing the attacking Zhang Hao and the Bride, he dares not use the Ghost Pressure Person again, and can only continuously increase his use of Ghost Wind.

As he stimulates the Ghost Wind, his body begins to become ethereal, and the Ghost Pressure Person standing on Fang Shiming's shoulder shows signs of being blown away.

"Bad, the Ghost Pressure Person is about to lose balance."

Fang Shiming's complexion changed; he dared not continue to blow the Ghost Wind to tear the Ghostly Servant's Ghost Domain.

Seeing the head-sized fissure in the darkness, Fang Shiming immediately prepared to leave.

However, at that moment, Zhang Hao, holding the Ghost Bride, raised his hand.

The Ghost Summoning supernatural effect activated.

As the Ghost Wind inside Fang Shiming's body grew more restless, the balance within him became unsteady, and Zhang Hao sensed the Ghost Wind inside Fang Shiming.

As he gestured, Fang Shiming's complexion changed dramatically, and the Ghost Wind revived.

The already hard-to-suppress Ghost Wind, after being affected by the Ghost Summoning supernatural influence, fully revived the Fierce Ghost.

Fortunately, when Fang Shiming was summoned, he had already successfully left the Ghostly Servant's Ghost Domain.

Although the Ghost Wind had revived, he still managed to escape that darkness.

"I will live on!"

Fang Shiming shook his head, and the Ghost Wind's Ghost Domain unfolded, aiming to leave Dajing City.

However, under the Fierce Ghost's revival, unable to control his own Fierce Ghost, he quickly fell to the ground, losing movement.

Through the darkness, Zhang Hao watched the figure falling toward the ground in the distance; he wanted to control the Fierce Ghost on Fang Shiming.

But after looking at the surrounding darkness, he ultimately did not step out.

A single hair movement would affect his whole body; once he leaves, the Ghostly Servant here would lose control, and those dead Ghost Tamers would sequentially attack the humans outside.

If the situation escalates too much, it might provoke that old man to intervene.

Zhang Hao looked toward the distant Fang Shiming who was kneeling there, approached the kneeling Fang Shiming, and grabbed him with his hand.

He was curious about what Fang Shiming used to create this duplicate. The moment Zhang Hao's palm touched Fang Shiming, the once-living body of Fang Shiming suddenly contracted, and shortly after turned into a blurry Photo.

"A special Supernatural Artifact?"

Zhang Hao picked up the Photo; the blurry person in it seemed to indicate that the Photo's owner had already died, and the medium left in the Photo had vanished.

After standing there for a while, Zhang Hao finally walked toward Jiang Shangbai's corpse.

Zhang Hao still harbored an unfinished plan in his heart; after obtaining this Photo, that plan could be carried out more effectively.

He had not forgotten his other goal in Dajing City: to find the Newspaper Ghost.

But given his current situation, he certainly could not leave this Ghost Domain.

He is now one of the sources of an S-level Paranormal Event, the White Evil of the Red and White Double Evil; once he leaves the Ghostly Servant's Ghost Domain, the Headquarters may likely experience a stress reaction.

Therefore, in Zhang Hao's earlier thinking, he would infiltrate the Headquarters by controlling a Ghost Slave, just like Hao Zhang had done before.

But after seeing this Photo, Zhang Hao came up with a better idea.

He approached Jiang Shangbai, used Ghost Summoning to revive the Fierce Ghost inside Jiang Shangbai's body.

Then he poured out three cups of Ghost Wine for Jiang Shangbai to drink.

Next, Zhang Hao took the Photo and stuck it onto Jiang Shangbai's coal-black face.

As the Photo touched Jiang Shangbai's face, a human figure began to slowly appear in the Photo.

It was Jiang Shangbai's visage before being ignited; as the sticking progressed, Jiang Shangbai's face fully manifested in the Photo.

After removing the Photo from above, shortly thereafter the Photo swelled like an inflatable doll.

Soon, after the swelling completed, a cold-faced man stood before Zhang Hao, and oddly, the swollen face was exactly like Jiang Shangbai's.

However, perhaps because Jiang Shangbai had already died, the newly emerged Jiang Shangbai seemed to lack independent consciousness.

Nevertheless, Zhang Hao was even more satisfied with this.

If the fabricated Jiang Shangbai possessed his own mind, Zhang Hao would actually find it undesirable.

From Jiang Shangbai's corpse, he extracted the three Fierce Ghosts that were already in a drunken state and placed them into the body of the Photo's Jiang Shangbai.

Soon, a new Fake Jiang Shangbai was completed.

Carrying the new Jiang Shangbai, Zhang Hao returned to the location of the spirit hall.

The spirit hall is now completely out of control; the Ghostly Servant, suppressed by Zhang Hao inside the Ghost Coffin, cannot leave at all.

For the current Zhang Hao, the Ghostly Servant and the Ghost Coffin are essentially a Supernatural Artifact in his hand.

As long as Zhang Hao kneels on the Ghost Coffin, he can control the Ghost Coffin to release this dark Ghost Domain, and at the same time can project his own Spirit Phenomenon into the Ghost Domain.

Or rather, the darkness outside, for Zhang Hao, is a magnified version of the Ghost Coffin.

He can affect the Ghostly Servant's Ghost Domain by influencing the Ghost Coffin.

For example, the paper copper coins drifting in the Ghost Domain are merely the Spirit Phenomenon born when Zhang Hao scatters paper copper coins into the Ghost Coffin.

Likewise, the Kneeling Death Spirit Phenomenon that fills the entire Ghost Domain is the same.

Because Zhang Hao was kneeling on the Ghost Coffin at that time, the whole dark Ghost Domain was effectively within the concept of Kneeling Death.

Now the Ghost Coffin functions as a magnifying glass, amplifying all of Zhang Hao's influences on the Ghost Coffin.

Aside from this Spirit Hall, since Zhang Hao cannot truly affect the Ghostly Servant itself, that creature keeps Restarting.

Therefore, the Spirit Hall can still remain in a state untouched by the Spirit Phenomenon generated by Zhang Hao.
